Received a call from 509-214-2673 today June 6, 2014 from "officer John Martin from Crime burble burble Investigation Canada regarding identity of suspect burble burble, etc, etc. and here is my number (three times in good clairity)." Needless to say, after investigating what I could online, I see the number originates from the Spokane Washington area. The caller had a Pakistani accent which seems consistent. Thank you all who have previously reported this scammer. Hope he gets his nuts in a wringer.
Caller left a voice message with his ID as Officer David Caldwell (?) of the Crime Investigation Department regarding a Legal Affidavit in his hand with our name and under investigation. His message sounds real and needs call back since the legal action will proceed immediately. Individual while leaving message pretends to be real Officer and leaves his phone number twice with his name. Last name is not clear since the accent is quiet heavy and sounds phony.
Phony Caller left a voice message my wife called back thinking reporting to the local police.

Caller: 509-214-2673
We also received a phone call from this number 509-214-2673 that mimics all the stories above. These people names themselves and "Anita Patel" and "Tejash Patel" from NJ. They are Indians who speak the language Gujarati. They are definite scam artists. From what area or if they are in the country, we are not sure.
They obviously are stupid and probably don't monitor any blogs such as this. My suggestion would be that someone try to get the email address that is asociated with this Magic Jack number and then try to contact Magic Jack or log into their account with that associated email account. That way more information can be learned about the particular account.
Received the call just now. Same story .. have you heard from local Police dept. We have claim against you in legislative dept. etc. We need to record the info. Very indian /heavily accented voice. I hung up ...
same call received with heavy accent. said the same investigation nonsense. Then she says I am officer from State Dept. and talk to my supervisor,,,I told her I know you are fake....so she put the phone down.
